@MiiaBestWaifu Perhaps if it was an expected, regular thing. But they got guests they never expected, so a daughter that old could cope with it even if she had missed the timing and had to reheat food for herself later, on her own. It makes more sense than to ask a high human to wait for their daughter to come back before eating. It's like getting Queen Elizabeth to pay a sudden visit to your home, all hungry, but you asked her to wait for an unknown amount of time for your (nearly?) adult daughter to get home first, so that you wouldn't need to prepare her meal separately afterwards. I don't know, it just doesn't feel right to me, unless it had been agreed on beforehand that your whole family would be there eating with the queen.

@MiiaBestWaifu Actually, you are quite right. He was indeed their old friend. Thinking about it, there's no way Shin wouldn't have actually wanted to meet their child. It's not like Shin's position would be so special in their eyes anyway because they died before he cleared the game and freed all the others. He might be a hero for those guys and gals who made it, but not so much for those who didn't (although I mean nothing negative with this; it's not his fault many people must have failed the death game).

Can anyone help explain what the heck is happening this chapter?

Were those three players? Then why was it said there was the Dust thing wiping everyone away? Are these 'dead' players simply reincarnated in this world, the very game world itself? If so, when? They seem somewhat familiar, and not, at the same time, with the -present- world. Everything this chapter shows felt like contradicting things told before.

there's too much i missed here. so, hibineko and others are ex players that died and they should have died and never respawn, but since shin defeat the origin/boss they've respawned, right? And the other thing is what are six devas? are they shin party (that other players are unknown so far) that completing the game, and served by support characters/npc like schnee and others?

Cool, so Hibineko isn't yet another of his support NPCs come to life, but an actual player who died in the death game, and apparently got isekai'd to this seemingly real version of the game world. That nudges Shin's IRL situation a bit into the direction of "he died before he could logout" but that would be a terribly depressing reveal for the ending. An alternative idea is that at least some of the people who "died" in the death game didn't really die but were transferred to another game a la Alfheim Online.

Just as things were becoming a little stale the appearance of actual (former) players make this interesting again. As I understand it, Shadow and Holly woke up in this world also like Hibineko after they died in the game. But that happened before Shin cleared the game and freed the players. If they woke up there instantly after death they'd be over 500 years old now. But if not, then there's an unspecified amount of time that they didn't exist in any world until they woke up...

Best part is Schnee and Tiera hitchhiking on Yuzuha's summon. Boy, I didn't think that was possible, but that made me laugh. I LOVE that Schnee appeared hugging Shin. Perfect entrance. I guess I don't need to worry about Shin and Schnee being artificially kept apart for a long time again.

I suppose this elven lass is Shadow and Holly's daughter? If coming back to Earth is still an option like Shin hopes, this complicates things for them assuming they didn't actually die for real in the death game backstory. Unless bringing people from this world back to Earth is possible (this also opens the possibility of Shin bringing Schnee with him, or so I'd like him to at least try).
